Everton forward Dwight McNeil has a pre-season chat with captain Seamus Coleman and former Burnley team-mate James Tarkowski to partly thank for his upturn in goalscoring form.

The 24-year-old scored twice just after half-time as his side came from behind in the Premier League for the first time since October 2022 to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 and register their first win of the season.
